�We are here tonight to tell Atlanta, Georgia to STOP treating poor people in the housing projects like slaves. STOP making mothers in Grady _Homes leave their babies at six in the morning and go take care of the rich white man's children in Buckhead. STOP paying those maids only 30 dollars a week and raising their rent. ,. STOP making men in Perry Homes work for slave wages. STOP evicting their families or dimming their lights when they can't get the r ent on time. STOP making them pa y fines they don't deserve and bills they a r e not r esponsible for. STOP conditions in Carver Homes that let rats go after childr en. STOP lying to peopl e about not having their applications. And STOP, Atlanta, bragging about what you are doing for poor people, because you aren't. Atlanta, yo u don' t even have Grady Homes, Perry Homes and · Carver Hom es. You have Grady Slums, Perry Prisons, and Carver Ghettoes! And that' s where hungry children, unemployed men, and poor mothers live. We say to Atlanta, Georgia, that if you don't STOP all this, we are going to STOP you from doing it. SCLC and the Tenants United For Fairness ---that means TUFF -- are going to get tough with you, and we mean everyone from Mayor Ivan Allen on down. WE DEMAND the Bill of Rights for Public Housing Tenants. We are sick and tired of the Mayor and the Board for the Atlanta Housing Authority delaying action on our Bill of Rights. The injustices to poor people in the �-2housing projects have been going on for years and years , and we will not stand for more delays and more studies. We have studied the Atlanta Housing Authority, and we have found that the Atlanta Housing Authority, starting with Mr . Satterfield (the director) had better get right or get lost. And the Board needs some new blood that represents poor people, no t bankers and real estate interests. We especially demand that the Atlanta Housing Authority tell us exactly why it doesn't reduce rents instead of raising rents. WE DElVIAND that they tell us what they are doing with ever y penny of poor people's money fo r s ecurity deposits when they move into housing pro:j'ects·. Wher e i s the money? Do t he banks get it ? The white banks? Wha t does the Housing Authority do with the poor people's money? Do they get interest on the money and reduc e r ents ? NO ! Do they fix up the housing projects? NO! the tenants have to pay for that. Do they provide more electricity and heat? NO ! they dim the lights and the homes get cold. Do they use the money to buy more slum properties? Do they use the money to pay their own salaries? WHERE IS THE MONEY? We demand that the money be controlled by the ' tenants and used as the tenants determine for improvements in their homes. WE ALSO DEMAND that public housing be turned over to the tenats so that the tenants can manage their own homes and control admissions, discipline, fines, clean-up, and hiring for maintenance. Do you know that this has been done in projects in Baltimore, Maryland, and Cleveland, Ohio? Why not Atlanta, if Atlanta is so great and so progressive? ,., - - --- - - - --- - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - �-3- WE ALSO DEMAND THAT each housing project have a hearing - panel - - made up of tenants and management, and controlled by the tenants . This panel must have the power to veto the rules of the Atlanta Housing Author ity. · This panel could decide who manages their project and who gets .. jobs in managem ent and custodial work. The tenants themselves would have fir st choice. That is a way to really fight poverty by giving poor people jobs . Housing projects don't need managers who come from other comm unities. We don' t need mapger s who dig up the flower gardens that the poor people planted, a s they did at one pr oject here in Atlanta. We don' t need managers and government employe es breaking into homes and searching property when the tenants aren't ther e. We don't want dictator managers fining us and putting us into the streets with out money for rent or food. WE ALSO DEMAND that the Atlanta Housing Authority recognize TUFF as the official bargaining agent for tenants and stop intimidating people in tuff;.1:. These are our demands, and we want simple answers -- like YES or NO -- and we want answers NOW. Martin Luther King Jr. and Ralph David Abernathy started fighting for poor people and black people 14 years ago in Montgomery, Alabama. They have assassinated Dr o King, but if anyone thinks I am going to let them forget about it or stop fighting for my brothers and sisters -- they got a lesson to learn, starting right here in Atlanta, Geor giao

Gregory Griggs UR Committee Board of Aldermen 691 Woodland Avenue S. E. Atlanta, Georgia 30316 Dear Mr.Griggs: Recently you asked Mr. Openshaw for information concerning the property bounded by Georgia Avenue, Capitol Avenue, Bass Street, and w·ashington Street. Approximately a half of this area is in the Rawson-Hashington Urban P,enewal Project, and the other half is in the 1969 clearance area in the Model Cities portion of the Neighborhood Development Program. If the Rawson-~ashington Project is to close before December 31, 1969, the sale of this land would take place through two simultaneous offerings. Under the pres3nt approved land use, the land can only be used for commercial, and would be offered in such a way that a Developer could hly the entire area with Crew Street to be clo sed, or buy either or both blocks to keep Crew Street open. Under the Model Cities Land Use Plan, the block bounded by Crew, Georgia, Capitol, and Bass is designated for park use, which is, of course , public. If this portion of the area were to be used for public purposes, amendments to each of the two Programs would be necessary. In any event, the land would have to be appraised by two competent appraisers, with a price to be concurred in by the Renewal Assist.cU"ice Administration. The appr aisals would be the s ame for either commer cial or public use,because proper ty to be sold for public purposes must be appraised at its hi1ghest and best alternate use . We have not, of course, had appraisals made. Based on our experience, our Real Estat e people estimate that t he pr ice per sq. foot would not be les s than :j;J . 00 or more than $5. 00. Land for commercial uses must be sold under competitive pr ocedures . Land for publ ic purposes, how= ever, can be sold wi thout adver tising. If t he land wer e used as a park, t he price of t he l and would be eligible a s a non- ca.sh grant-in- aid credit to the extent that t he park s erved and support ed t he Project. I f it were used f or office space, no credit would be avai lable. If part wer e used f or one purpose �-2- and part for another, the above provisions would apply. If the area were to be a Park with temporary use for office space, the matter would have to be negotiated with the Renewal Assistance Administ ration, and probably receive 1vashington concurrence or approval. It is my hope that this will clarify the questions you have. If· not, please let me know and we will try to provide further information. Sincerely yours, ~53!~ Lester H.

In our opinion, this requirement is b ad public policy and is probably unconstitutional. I, therefore, urge the Board of Commissioners to co nsider its complete elimination. As y ou may know , durationa l reside ncy requireme nts in the are a _of public welfare have b e en attacke d r e cent ly in the courts . Indeed, a three-judge Federal District Court for the District of Columbia has r u l ed that such a prerequisite for welfare benefit s is unconstitution al. The District o f Columbia case , along with othe r s , is current l y pe nding before the United St a te s S up r e me Court . It is likely that a de,cision voiding residency requirements for welfare applicants will be rendered in the near futur e . The argume nt before the S upreme Cour t i n the we lfare c ase s is e qually applicab l e t o p ub lic h o us i ng . No l eg itimate p u r pose of the Fede ral o r State p ub lic housing program is served b y a durational resi denc y req u ireme nt, since the twe lve month rule me r e l y f orces p oor n e wcomers to Atlan ta t o live in the sl ums or t o p a y excess i ve rent (an d pe r h a ps skimp o n other necess i t i es ) unt il they have b een in t he Ci ty a f ull ye a r.

As an Atlantan I am entirely sympathetic with the problem you and the city have encountered. I know of your efforts to persuade county officials to build public housing outside the city limits, and I know how frustrating it is to deal with officials who coldly and calmly throw all of their problems onto our shoulders. A residency requirement for public housing, however, punishes only low-income people. It does not work to force out-of- city officials to build public housing, because poor people are politically weak (especially in non-urban areas) and invariably ignorant about asserting such power as they may have. The dilemma faced by Atlanta, of course, is grave. Irrespons ible officials force people i nto our city, and irresponsible legislators deny us the f unds to deal with the problems their jurisdictions have imposed upon us. But this dilemma cannot be solved by residency requirements, which are both unconstitutional and unwise. I presume we must attempt to solve our problems by continuing our search for federal and state funds to bui~d new housing . SPO N S OR ED BY UNITED APPEAL A N D ECON O MI C OPPORTU N ITY ATLANTA, IN C . / �Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr., April 11th, 1969 Page #2. And while I know it is no answer to the problem you and the city face today, I must point out that Atlanta has built its justifiably brilliant national reputation in _ large part on the concern you and your administration have shown for the humane resolution of urban problems. Anyone can find an angry solution to the 20th Century: it takes an Ivan Allen to find a calm one. Legal Aid now has a number of clients who have suffered as a result of AHA's policy. (I understand you discussed one of these clients with Eugene Taylor , a lawyer on this staff.) As I am sure you know I wrote to you and Mr. Sterne not out of any desire to "create an issue," but in the hope of resolving, without litigation or publicity, a very real problem facing a number of clients of this office. s;~~

A copy of the HUD letter, dated March 20, 1969, outlining procedure s relating to the use of project funds under a Neighbor hood Development Program (NDP) for the acquisition of properties not scheduled t o be ac quired during 1969 , i s attached.

Satterfield Executive Director · Housing Authority of the City of Atlanta 824 Hurt Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Satterfield: Subject: Project No. Ga. A-2 Acquisition of "Hardship" or "Opportunity" Parcels in NDP Mr. Howard Openshaw has asked as to our policy on the use of project - ·I •I ·, funds under a Neighborhood Development Program for the acquisition during the 11Action Year" of land not scheduled for acquisition during that year • . His specific question relates to the acquisition of about 40 scattered parcels on which are vacant, ~ilapidated structures, located in the Bedford-Pine area. The Activity Program for the NDP anticipated that these parcels would not be acquired this year, but instead i n a subsequent year • - The NDP offers flexibility in the acquisition of land, so tha t an LPA can purchase land in hardship cases or opportunity cases, even though the land was not scheduled for acquisition irt the Action Year. A contingency amount is put in the annual budget for this . pur pose. Of cours e , no land can be pur chased unl ess it meets the area el igibility r equirements o f Georgi a and Federal l aw , a nd unless it is in an area for which ther e is an urban renewal plan which has been approv ed locally and by HUD. The Bedford-Pine area meets these requirement s; most other areas in Atlanta 's NDP do not. We believe that the money in an NDP as a contingency for land acquisition, and even money included for land acquisition in specified areas, may be used for purchasing parcels not designated for acquisition in the Action Year. However, such parcels must be either hardship" or "opportunity" parcels, and the owners must be willing to sell for the offering price; eminent domain should not be used for policy reasons. �-2You should obtain our approval for the purchase of each of the hardship" or "opportunity" parcels. Our approval will authorize your securing appraisals and a title search of the property and its purchase later, at a concurred-in price. We will follow a liberal policy in granting approvals, and will not superimpose our judgment as to what · constitutes a "hardship" or "opportunity" on the judgment of your Authority. Nonetheless, we must determine that the acquisition of these parcels does not take money, staff time, relocation housing, or other resources to such an extent that the programmed accomplishments of the Action Year cannot be met. This policy should provide sufficient latitude for your Authority to change its acquisition program to meet changed circumstances during the year. Sincerely yours, 8~n-. J. . \/ohn T.

It is a matter of re- cord that at both t i mes, we t o l d these rep r e s e n ta t ive s tha ~ we would like to cooperate . insofar as we could a n d t h at we certainly had an open mind as far as low-cos t housing is concerned. We asked both groups to indicate areas where they thought public housing in the County should be considered. As yet, this has not been done. {Continued) �The 'Brookings Institution II 177 5 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE N.W . / WASHINGTON D.C. 20036 / CABLES : BROOKINST / TELEPHONE : 202 HUDSON 3- 8919 Visiting Scholar Programs January 23, 1969 Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Ga. 3_030.3 Dear Mayor Allen: I want to thank you for the intervie w on urban renewal which I had with you during my recent visit to Atlanta over the Christmas holidays. Your summary ·!Of w.l::a t urban renewal is a ccomplishing in Atlan'la am some of the problems it is encountering is most helpful in my project on the history of the program. I also appreciate the discussions I had with Mr. Sweat, Col. Jones, and Mr. Satterfield and other staff of the Housing Authority. I have just finished ccnverting my notes to tape and find that these discussions, together with the writt en materials furnished me, give me a current and comprehensive view of the Atlanta urban renewal program. Anyone who has been to Atlantaat d.if ferent t ime s over the l a st quarter century, as I have, cannot fail to be impressed by the tremendous progress that ha s been made in both the city's phJrsical and social development. The priIIl2ry role that you have assigned to urban renewal is therefore most gratifyills. This i s particularly so in view of the atta cl{S which have been leveled against the program in the last seve ral years. The mos t r ecent is the chapter, "From Slum Clearance to Urban Renewal, 11 in the report of the National Commission on Urban Problems, whic h ha s just been released. I understand that this chapter was written personally by Senator ~ aul Dougl as, chairman of t he Commissicn. Unfortu nately Senator Douglas ' s attack is based :in large part on a di storted and inaccurate version of the l egislative history of the program. ~ conclusion is based on the opinions of others mo participated in this history, my observations over two decades of close participation in the legislative and policy development of the program, and the review of events leading to the original enactment in 1949 which I have just concluded as part of my project. Programs like t.ha t in Atlanta an:i the support they have frcm the community are undoubtedly better answers to that kind of criticism than any attempts I or others can make to straighten out the reoord. So I wish you and your associates continued success in your new efforts midl have ju st been announced. .

Gregory Griggs UR Committee Board of Aldermen 691 Woodland Avenue S. E. Atlanta, Georgia 30316 Dear Mr. Griggs : Recently you asked Mr. Openshaw f or infonnation concerning the property bounded by Georgia Avenue, Capitol Avenue, Bass Street, and Washington Street. Approximately a half of this area is in the Rawson-Washington Urban Fenewal Pro j ect, and the other half is in the 1969 clearance area in the Model Cities portion of the Neighborhood Development Program. If the Rawson-Washington Project is to close before December 31, 1969, the sale of this land would take place through two simultaneous offerings. Under the present approved land use, the land can only be used for commercial, and would be offered in such a way that a Developer could bly'the entire area with Crew Street to be closed, or buy either or both blocks to keep Crew Street open. Under the Model Cities Land Use Plan, the block bounded by Crew, Georgia, Capitol, and Bass is designated for park use, which is, of course, public. If this portion of the area were to be used for public purposes, amendments to each of the two Programs would be necessary. In any event, the land would have to be appraised by two competent appraisers, with a price to be concurred in by the Renewal Assistance Administration. The appraisals would be the same for either commercial or public use,because property to be sold for public purposes must be appraised at its highest and best alternate use. We have not, of course, had appraisals made. Based on our experience, our Real Estate people estimate that the price per sq. foot would not be less than $3.00 or more than $5.00. Land for commercial uses must be sold under competitive procedures. Land for public purposes, however, can be sold without advertisingo If the land were used as a park, the price of the land would be eligible as a non-cash grant=in=aid credit to the extent that the park served and supported the Project. If it were used for office space, no credit would be available. If part were used for one purpose �-2- and part for another, the above provisions would apply. If the area were to be a Park with temporary use for office space, the matter would have to be negotiated with the Renewal Assistance Administration, and probably receive Washington concurrence or approval. It is my hope that this will clarify the questions you have. If not, pl ease let me know and we will try to provide further information. Sincerely yours,,:;? ,,:?r )f:j,,,143.215.248.55 Lester H.

The Cooperation Agreement between the Atlanta Hou~~ng Authority and the City of Atlanta states that the City shall fu~nish or cause to be furnished to the Local Authority and the tenants of such projects public services and facilities of the s ame character and to the same extent as are furnished from time to time without cost or cha r g e to other dwelltng s and inhabitants in the municipality. This provision, of course, includes police service and the City should therefore provide services required at the projects to insure the safety of its residents. This office does not approve funds to be used to provide protective services as a matter of course. Only where highly unusual circumstances existed have we authorized funds to employ project police or security guards. In such rare instances, approval involved very small numbers of personnel and for temporary periods of time. At this tim e , we are not aware of circumsta nces in Atlanta which require special prote ctive s e r v ic e s ov~ r a nd a bove tho s e pre s e ntly b e ing p r ovided by the municipality und e r the provisions of the Cooperation Agr eeille nt.

I n the Project Co st Estimate and Financ ing Plan (l ine A-20), the revised est i mate for nonca s h loca l gra n ts-in-aid increased by $2 70 ,7 34 of whi ch thi s $90 , 000 . 00 wou l d make up appro ximately one-third . However , we hav e no s up porting sched ules with whi ch to check these fig ures and thus cann ot detennine how much , i f any , of thIB increase is appl i cable t o Gordon St reet .

Comr,ut ation of t otal interest cost from Harch 31, 1969, indicat es cota l int e rest of $624,500 and a net increase of $49 3,400.00 . When the unencumbered bal anc e of $131, 44 1. 00 i s deducted from the t ota l interest cost of $624,500.00, th e ne t increase of $493,059.00, which differs from their computation by $341.00. In addition, the intere st to DHUD is increased by $10,653. 00 with the only explanation being a correction for a small overr un; it app ears tha t more information should be disclosed by t he Housing Authority with referenc e to this increase. (It is s omewhat frightening to note tha t the extension in time will cost the City over cae- ha lf million dolla~s ~n interest.) �.. Memo - Jay Fountain General Staff l'age Two July 15, 1969 _., (6) The requested increase in administrative costs is also confusing. It is stated that the present costs in this line item are ccmputP.d at the rate of $19, 800.00 per month. Based on this rate, they arrive at a total cost (from April, 1969, to the completion date of July, 1971--a period of 28 _months) of $L,43,L,00.00. With an unencumbered balance of $193,505, a net adjustment (increase ) of $360,900 is requested. Based on the total cost as shown by AHA , the correct ne t adjustment would be $249 ,395; however, $19,800 per month for 28 months gives a total cost of $554,400 which when reduced by the unencumbered balance requires a net adjustment of $360,895--a difference of $5 from their request o · Their ind icated total cost would cover a period of only 22.4 months, based on the rate given. This does not conform to the extension period of ApriJ 1, 1969, through July, 1971. Although two-thirds of the Surmnary of Changes could not be checked for verification due to _the l ack of information from AHA, it is hoped that the above findin gs will be helpful to you. �.August 8 , 1969 Mr .

EARL LANDERS, Admini strative Assistant MRS. ANN M. MOSES, Executive Secretary DAN E. SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmental Liaison What Col. Jones is saying is that CRC doesn't do a very good job. From what I know about it, I would agree with him . This responsibility used to be in the Planning Department a nd as a result of somebody's efficiency study, it was determined that this was a function that could best b e provided by the Housing Authorityo The result has been that costs have sky-rocketed and their effectiveness is questioned by about everybody. (They are asking $40, 000 from the City for Fiscal 1970) . They did do the relocation assistance work for persons displac e d as a result of Highway Department acquisition in the city, but the Highway Department got so dis enchanted that they went back to providing relocation assistance with their own people. We could call Les Per sells and Howard Grigsby over for a pep talk, but I hone stly don't know what it would accomplish. I have n e ver heard them admit that any improvement was neede d. They are usually pretty defensive about any hint that it is not a perfect operation. While trying to work out budget problems once in Finance, I made the suggestion that the City reassume this function. I have dr afted the attached for your signature. GB :j e Attachment �CITY OF .ATLANTA. CITY HALL August 6, 1969 ATLANTA, GA. 30303 Tel. 522-4463 Area Code 404 IVAN ALLEN, JR., MAYOR CECIL A. ALEXANDER, Chairman Housing Resources Committee MALCOLM D. JONES Housing Coordinator MEMORANDUM TO: Mr. Dan E. Sweat, Jr. Chief Adrninistrati ve Officer Mr. Tommy Hess, Manager of the Central City EOA Neighborhood Center, under which the J. P. Stevens and Company temporary Relocation Assistance Office is operating, informed me today that although the services of Mrs. Hazel Johnston, the current Housing Authority Relocation Worker with the Mill Village project, are highly satisfactory, however, much to his disappointment, the Relocation Housing Office of the Housing Authority (Mr. Howard Grisby) has not provided any lists of firms to contact, information or assistance for relocating families in private enterprise rentals or sales housing. Further that Mr. Grisby stated that his office keeps no information on sources for relocation, other than Public Housing. Mr. Hess advises that his s taff has had to refer exclusively to newspaper ads and direct contact with Atlanta Real Estate Board to gather information on pas sible sources of private rentals or sales and prevailing prices. It was my understanding, when in 1964 the City contracted with the Housing Authority to establish a Central Relocation Housing Office to perform relocation services on a city-wide basis (in a ddition to Urban Renewal areas, which responsibility they already had) for families displaced by Governmental action, that they were to include a ll available sources of private enterprise housing, in addition to Public Housing facilities. This is exactly what the R e locatio~Housing Division of the Urban Renew al Department (only 3 people) were doing when the city -wide relocation function was turned over to the Housing Authority. It certainly appears that the Central Relocation Housing Office of the City should be up to date on and utilize a ll pas sible sources for relocation in private enterprise developments, in addition to Public Housing. �Mr. l.ian E. Sweat, Jr. August 6, 1969 Page Two Some time ago I sensed that the Housing Authority Relocation Housing Office was relying too extensively on Public Housing only for relocation purposes. I came to that conclusion when I found out that the Housing Relocations Office did not have a list of low and moderate incom~ housing developments under the low-income housing program. I asked Mr. Grisby about this at the time and he told me that they did not have a list of the various projects shown in the HRC periodic progress rep-orts, but that his staff knew pretty well which ones they were and how to get in touch with them. As a result of that experience, I then personnaly sent Mr. Satterfield a complete list of all the low-income housing projects, explaini,ng that it was for use by the Reloc ation Housing Office. Apparently that idea didn 1 t take. Furthermore, the recent experience with the J. P. Stevens and Company personnel indicates that the City 1 s contract with the Housing Authority for operating a central relocation facility should provide not only utilization of a ll sources of housing available, but should also include relocation assistance, when needed, for any reasons whatsoever, a nd not limited to displacement by Governmental action only.

Some technical material ove~ my head but pointed out what I must learn as a city administrator. Very good. material. High calibre instructors, good quality class Program is thought-provoking rather than practical in most respects. Exposure to modern management decision making and financial concepts valuable in making me aware of their existence. Good, with some minor e x ceptions re. scheduling and timing priorities not always clear. Impressed with learning new concepts which can be ·used in making management decisions. Material and structure both ·excellent. Worthwhile, generally relevant. Very stimulating .and worthwhile experience. · . very stimulating, extremely helpful and valuable. Outst anding , although perhaps too much material made available f o r only 4 weeks. Excellent. I gaine d a new insight into the possible solutions of many o f our problems . This has be en the most useful and enriching four weeks of educational experience in mY memory. M.I.T. des erves the highest praise for venturing into this new program and I sha ll always b e proud of my association with M.I.T . and this program. Very good, well-balanced. In genera l, the program was excel l en t. well planned , v ery wo r thwhile. Well adm i nistered , �7 Broadening, stimulating, provocative with resulting insights not b~fore possible. Especially liked computer-oriented work and flexible attitude of staff. I I Stimulating, broadly benef'icial as an introduction of application of decision systems and technology to problems of cities. Program content Was excellent, offering a wide exposure to the yariety of disciplines represented by the group. It provided a very good and most stimulating learning experience, especially for a person like me who does not have the opportunity of going back to school for a longer period. Grateful for the opportunity. I don't know of a better investment of my time to enable me to help my organization. I Most stimulating and informative. I believe M.I.T. is doing a great service to local governments by providing such a program. �Length of program (4 weeks) .,_' I about right: too ' short-: t<;>o long: Comments: I I I V 11 7 1 lengthen to 5 weeks and eliminate weekend and evening classes. if possible to take the time from my work, one or 2 more weeks would be valuable some people seemed tired by 4th week' if any longer, would have to schedule a home break alternative t o lengthening program - cut down readings and some subjects too short fo r amount of material· only possible to be away from job for 4 weeks, but could have stayed longer for information and content additional week would help surer understanding of technical subjects add mor e computer time, shorten T-group. group is s at ura te d a t 4 we eks couldn' t at tra c t to p me n i f longe r time reorganize within the 4-week period - .. er �.:. , , ~ - Number of participants (19) about right: too few: too many: Comments: v l .I I i. 19 0 0 could go up to 25 or 30 without distraction good geographical distribution, too no more than 20 to 24 no higher than 25, no lower than 15 20 would be ideal 20 - 25 perfect perhaps diversify participation with representation of other government levels and private sector �W9rkload about right: too little: too mucn: Comments: V 13 0 6 OK if program extended. make program 5 weeks .with 2 hrs. of study scheduled . each day homework very heavy little time available for readings reading assignments overwhelming too much reading, but valuable too much reading sometimes too many spea kers scheduled in one day if assigned less, would read more class sessions right, preparation and reading too much insufficient time for reading too much expected of us in evenings - classes, entertaining, reading reading as s i g nments exce3sive; no more than 3 night seminars per we e k · we n ee de d rea d i n g a s s i gnme nt priorities reading assignments too heavy, but I'll read them at home �-: , ··.~· Reactions to first week in Organization Behavior Fabulous experience. I'm very sensitive about people and our T-group ,·sessions helped me calm down and get to know my fellow executives better. Irv Rubin - very fine. A new experience for me. Time well spent. At first, I coultjn't tell what was happening. At end of week it made some sense. Now I realize it has helped me listen to the other guy. Very helpful - (1) as a quick and deep development of community among participants (2) as a t ra nsition between job and school (3) as gene ra l learning experierice about self and group behavior. At the time I felt too much time was being given to it; now I feel that any less time would lose purpose of its objective. It wili affect my job performance as much as any material received . \ ' . My reaction was mixed - it was a good way to break people from the office setting , but was a whole week really necess ary? I A veI r y unusual and rewarding e x perience. for l ~he next 3 weeks . . Good preparation • Terrific! La b provided essential unifying fact or for the group. Its effects could be observed thr ou ghout the following 3 weeks . Cannot make up ·my mind whether one full week is best use of time for a short program. In a ny event, the "commu nity game" was most effective and should be continue d. I may change my mind later, but I think now other parts o f program should b e given more time in place of lab. ,. Trainers both good people, but I found my own grou p's experience not particularly helpful f o r me. The "commu nity game" simulation was, however, a benef icia l exericse. My first reacti on was very negative. Now I believe it was the most impo rtan t part o f the p rogra m. More advance information and r e ading would have greatly increased the value of the week for me. �' .- , , ··:~' At first I didn't feel that it was worth 25% of the course; th~n as the week developed I began to see the significance; observing one member who missed the first week made me realize '·even more how important it was. We should have received, however, a clearer explanation in advance of what is to be accomplished. I . Session was helpful in personal sensitizing but went on for t~o long. This is a unique part of the program and should be retained. Very meaningful and individually helpful. Group able to relate more easily. V I The unstructured As it developed, more lectures on management would nature of the lab made it a t first mystifying. I understood better its significance . Perhaps behavioral science applicable to city be useful. A unique experience for which I was unprepared. It made me more aware o f o ther people's feelings. I think its objectives could be achie ved in 3-4 days, leaving time for a tour of the city and l earning of its problems , re ading , etc. Unfortunately, I was not here for t he first week. I have learned from the others that I missed a most, if not the most, • beneficia l portion o f the program. Excellent. In my opinion the first week's activities made the rest of the time more effective. .. �Additional Comments I am very grateful for the opportunity of being of part of the M.I.T. Urban Executive Program. I There may have been too much material offered for the length o{ the program as given. Faculty should be better communications and more familiar with government material. Good' mix of geographic areas and work responsibility of participants. Should add more blacks, and involve people from so·cia i service areas. My thanks to all members of the staff for a job well done. More faculty interest and exchange of agruments needed. I Special tribute to directors of program - willingness to shift schedules and respond to group's interests. Faculty sympathetic, understanding, and giving of their time. Should provide a larger selection of reference reading material. Build into the program a tour o f Boston featuring those aspects which instructors use as examples. The cou rsework fills a great void in updat~ng urban management skills and techniques. Please continue. Cities are heartened that top-level institutions, such as M.I.T., are a·ware o f urban problems and concerned with assisting in their solution. Thus, urban managers should be better equipped to take a b roader view, and be more amenable to new approaches. v I want to express my appreciation to members of M.I.T. and Endicott House staffs for making the se 4 weeks a memorable and rewarding experience. Your program 8ould be an excel lent instrument to promote and expand cooperation among faculty members and interest them in collaborative work related to u r ban problems. Lower tuition to under $1,000, to avoid t e chnicaliti es in obt aining approval for application. �Faculty with Material Not so useful "Perspectives on Our Cities" (Brower): could not figure out what he was after I Economics with Thurow: too industry-oriented Piere, Wilson Seifert, Pogue, Miller Pogue, Crowston Wilson) Seifert - did not respond well to our particular needs.
